Could Jaap Stam be off to Oxford? You would think it would be unlikely but the bookies now have him down as fifth favourite for the job.

Also their new owner Tiger (who brought him to Reading) has said Oxford will announce their new manager after the weekend after several things have been ironed out and the appointment will have the wow factor.

This could be nothing or it could be Stam would leave after the Norwich game as there is then a two week gap and Reading are in the process of getting someone else in for the run in . . . .
